n moles of an ideal, monatomic gas is contained in apiston-cylinder arrangement and constrained to undergo thethermodynamic cycle depicted on the accompanying p-V diagram.
[pv=nRT; R = 8.314 J K/mol; U = 3nRT/2; Wi,f = Integral of pDV;Qi,f = Wi,f + (Uf-Ui)]
I can't post a picture of the graph but it is a simplegraph. P is on the y-axis, V is on the x-axis. Thereare two points on the y-axis, P1 and P2, and two points on thex-axis, V1 and V3=rV1. There is now a rectangular shape (4points) made up using these corresponding positions on thegraph. Point 1 corresponds to (V1, P1), point 2 correspondsto (V1, P2), point 3 corresponds to (V3=rV1, P2) and point 4corresponds to (V3=rV1, P1)
Data: p2=3p1, v1=v2, v3=v4=rv1
Determine the efficiency, E, of this cyclic process for theconversion of thermal energy into the net work output, in terms ofthe compression ratio, r.
Please help us with this ASAP, it will be greatlyappreciated. Thank you!
